xturtle.py, extended turtle graphics a new turtle graphics module for Python and Tkinter
Version 0.9 of xturtle.py has been released. It can be found at: http://ada.rg16.asn-wien.ac.at/~python/xturtle xturtle should work properly on all major platforms (Mac, Linux and Windows) Feedback would be appreciated to take it into account for polishing it to a final version 1.0. -------------------------------------- Learning to program computer should be fun, for adults and children alike. xturtle.py is a module designed to help you learn computer programming using Python. Turtle graphics provides a means for the beginning programmers to get immediate visual feedback about the correct working of her programs. It's main goal is to provide easy access to a sufficiently rich graphics toolkit. It needs only the standard distribution of python (incl. Tkinter) and imho it (or some descendant of it) once could (and should?) replace turtle.py which is contained in the current standard distribution. xturtle - delivered as a zip-file - contains four main elements: 1. the module xturtle.py . 2. set of 25+ sample scripts of great variety to show possible uses of xturtle.py 3. A simple demoViewer to run and view those sample scripts 4. documentation in form of *.txt files, which also can be viewed with the demoViewer. Docs are derived from doc strings. thus Python's help utility works fine with the module xturtle.py For more information (e.g. some screenshots) see the web page mentioned above.

You don't mind, Andre?) _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
